Series Electric Circuits

Subject of electrical circuits. Series-connected electric circuits. The equivalent resistance in series circuits. Total current of the series circuits. The voltage values on each resistor.

Electric Circuits

Electric circuits consist of one or more voltage supply and one or more electrical components. This electrical components may be a refrigerator, washing machine, lamp, electric motor etc. These components usually not shown in the electric circuit. Resistance is put to represent them.

All devices that use electricity have a resistance. The electric energy is consumed on resistors.

There are three types of electrical circuits. These are series circuits, parallel circuits, and series-parallel circuits.

Series Connected Circuits

In these circuits the electric current go out from voltage source and flows through components by following only one path and goes back to its source.
